Warriors, have you noticed our States appear to have a “Mary Poppins Complex” when it comes to giving us terrible education news? What do I mean by a “Mary Poppins Complex”? It was the attitude Julie Andrews portrayed when she had medicine to give the kids, but it was given with ‘a spoonful of sugar’ to make it more appealing.

When it comes to education, there’s been a lot of sugar coating going on. Especially since we were ‘given’ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act). Especially when it came to our students mental health.

Back in 2016, I showed you the federal ‘spoonfuls of sugar’ being shoved down our student’s throats as far as SEL (Social Emotional Learning). Especially the youngest students. From that article, look below:

With the increase in SEL (Social emotional learning) this type of ‘medicine’ is only getting more toxic for our students.

Ironically, in 2010, Edutopialiterally laid out the ‘selling points’ for SEL. Among them? Less school violence and bullying using SEL because, after all ‘the whole child’ is being educated.

In this 2017 article, it’s revealed that one in every six adults is on some type of psychotropic drug. For children, the number is even bigger.

Of the over 1 million cited, over half this group is in the 4-5 year old age group. Roughly 275,000 of the 1 million are less than a year old! Those ages 2 to 3 are estimated to be somewhere near 371,000. From 6-12 years old, the numbers are frightening at just over 4 million children in the US.

Below are some figures from IMS Health (a healthcare technology/patient data tracking company) about our kids, most of whom are in schools across the nations, regardless of what type of school. (Source for all the figures seen below.)(*Note: Figures are from 2013/14; IMS Health has since with Quintiles and is now known as Iqvia.)

While I will state that I do not support the Church of Scientology, a mental health watchdog group associated with them has published a “Child Drugging: Psychiatry Destroying Lives” report. Chapter One exposes the long line of educational demise at the hands of psychometric drugs.

John Dewey’s description from the Report, “JOHN DEWEY, psychologist and promoter ofthe “man is an animal” theory, labeled the urge to teach children to read early in life a “perversion,” and advocated that schools should take on the role of social, rather than academic, institutions.”

G. Stanley Hall’s description, “G. STANLEY HALL, first president of the American Psychological Association, explained education for the masses was not necessary. “We must overcome the fetishism of the alphabet, of the multiplication tables, of grammar,” he said. “It would be no serious loss if a child never learned to read.”

This is an excerpt from Chapter One we can easily connect to ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act)
“In the 1960s and ’70s, psychological programs known collectively as Outcome Based Education (OBE) were introduced into schools. Psychiatrists and psychologists, who directed the philosophy of OBE, claimed that three sources of stress had to be eliminated from schools: 1) school failure 2) a curriculum centered around academics and3) disciplinary procedures. School failure was the chief villain, they said, leading to “feelings of inferiority,” behavior problems like truancy and an unsocial attitude.*Walking arm in arm, psychology and psychiatry set the stage for the collapse of education at a profit to themselves. In 1962, they received nearly a billion dollars in the United States alone for their role in education. Today, funds channeled to “special education” for psychiatrist-defined “learning disabilities” has reached $30 billion (23.6 billion UK pounds). However, the U.S. Department of Education found that 40% of the children being spuriously labeled with these “disorders” had simply never been taught to read.”(*Note: the asterisk placed by ‘attitude’ referred to a Sol Cohen. I found his work housed in a Cambridge University archive. Look below for how Cambridge classified his work. In the link above, look for item #7 to see Cohen’s material.)

(*Note: In 2016, I showed you how Cambridge University was involved in the CCSS Machine as far as assessments.)

From this historical evidence, it appears Cohen’s work has been used several times since it was written. One of the last times was in 1979 during the “Private Philanthropy and Public Elementary and Secondary Education; Proceedings of the Rockefeller Archive Center“ Conference. (*Note: as you scroll down the list of Conferences look at the titles, the agenda items. You’ll see ‘patronizing the public’; ‘children at risk’, and so much more!)
This is a bold piece of evidence for P3s (public private partnerships) in education.
As we know, the Rockefellersare CCSS Machine members.

(*Note: the screen shot above is from the sample pages for the Conference Booklet. You can order and download for free, the entire Booklet. You’ll want to read all of the pages!)

Warriors, OBE lives in ESSA in the form of CBE (Competency Based Education) aka: College and Career Readiness/Career Pathways, etc. ESSA codified OBE through Common Core’s re-brands as well as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and, Math) and CTE (Career Tech Education).

***********************************************************************
According to the video below, ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) embedded mental health services (and thus treatments including medications). As we know ESSA codified everything which was in ESEA.

It also points out to the overall idea those in charge had: schools would better serve communities as mental health facilities NOT academic institutions. At least 20 million school children are diagnosed with some form of mental disorder (as of this video’s publication). Diagnosing them? School psychologists in a matter of minutes. You’ll also hear from parents how their children (forced to use these types of drugs) share violent behaviors increased (remember Edutopia’s sale pitch of decreased violence with SEL tactics?).

Warriors, we’ve often heard how the US academic standings have fallen, but do we hear (as often) the numbers for mental disorders is RISING? If anything is to blame for the demise of our students it would be the CCSS Machine’s grasp on education AND healthcare.

*To see the ERIC resource for the White House Conferences on Children (you’ll really want to use the zoom in feature and search feature), go here. (*Note: you’ll see that one of the historic Conferences referred to America as a ‘democracy’, as well as what was the nation’s assumption of the government’s responsibility in education.) The 1950 Conference is the one which laid the groundwork for mental health provisions in ESEA.

From the National Archives, this excellent trail of evidence will lead you to the mental health grab we are seeing.

*Here’s the 1998 Consensus Development Conferencedocument. You’ll need to note that while this document does contain mental health information, you’ll also see the Rand Corporation, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the Delphi method, and more.

*Also mentioned in the video was the National Education Consortium (NEC). Below is a screen shot of the article where the NEC’sDirector and Tom DeWeese(American Policy Center) address the mental health grab for students:

**********************************************************
As far as the ‘psychological’ mandates in the original ESEA and its newer version, ESSA?

*1965’s law (ESEA) had one mandate (Page 41) where ‘psychological services’ were to be among all the other supportive measures to help educationally deprived children. There were other, more general mandates for mental health, but only one specifically for psychological manipulation.

2015’s law (ESSA) has 4 mandates. Specialized school staff, two types of psychological services for Native Americans, and, school based mental health services providers.

Warriors, this doesn’t include the number of times ‘mental health’ was embedded in ESEA/ESSA. That number? Seventeen. See below:

***********************************************************
Not in the video, but helpful:

*Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS)information from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. Look at the ‘children’s health’ information.

*Daily Behavior Report Cards(DRC) from Dr. Kurtz show exactly what your students are measured on (as far as mental health) on a daily basis from 2017. Kurtz is a world-wide renown expert on ADHD.

*School counselors are being used against families to steer students towards Career Pathways (Obama Initiative) as well as Behavioral Standards. While both articles are archived, the alignment lives on in 2018.

*Look in your State for ‘school safety’ legislative committees or legislation. Mental health has been implanted as a behavior management tool. These types of moves not only adhere to a federal mandate, but answer the rallying cries of those who seek to turn schools into mental health facilities. Here’s proof from NC:

*NASP (National Association of School Psychologists) suggests more mental health care providers among our students. Guess what,that’s an ESSA’s mandate!Warriors, what number does your State have? NC’s pushing for more providers/funds to satisfy ESSA’s mandate.

So the question is: Does my State value its federal spoonful of ‘fed led education medicine’ MORE than my student?

Where is the protest over this reality?! Any education dollar more important than people is dirty money, Warriors!!

Warriors, what you see above is a long list of bitterness wrapped up in sugar. “Mary Poppins” would be ashamed if she were a real person.

Our US Government and States should be charged with illegally profiling our kids when it comes to their mental health in these parameters.

I understand there are citizens who truly NEED mental health care. I am NOT opposed to that at all.
However, the types of moves ESEA/ESSA and the CCSS Machine have made are not specific to this unique population, rather it encompasses ALL citizens as somehow mentally in need of services. WHY? More mental health labels means more federal dollars. More federal dollars means more federal control. Schools are not serving up academics anymore. Save your kids and their minds!
Help end the “Mary Poppins Complex” of the government.

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, I do believe our current Congress has reached an all-time low with the pair of federal derived education bills, S 1421 and HR 3828.

Both are titled the Patsy T. Mink Gender Equity in Education Act. Both claim the purpose of the legislation is to protect citizens from sexual inequality. But, what if, hidden in plain sight of these 2 bills is an agenda for aligned education? The savior for protecting us? STEM (as in Science, Technology, Engineering, and, Math)!!

Personal note: I am in no way advocating sexual inequality nor do I promote sexual harassment. However, if we are to have important legislation protecting our citizens could we POSSIBLY leave the UN’s (and CCSS Machine’s) STEM out of it?!

Make NO mistake: it has been a calculated plan for STEM and Common Core to be directly related.

The Legislation:
S 1421’s link
HR 3828’s link
(*Note: The Senate’s version was introduced in June 2017; the House’s in Sept. 2017. Both are in their respective Education and Labor Committees.)

The Lady:

Warriors, if you are not sure who Patsy T. Mink was, she was a very important leader from HI. She is basically the mother of Title 9. When Title 9 was much younger, it was created so that women and girls would have equal access to sports.
It’s only been in recent years that Title 9 has been reworded to NOW cover anyone who feels sexually left out of education.

Mrs. Mink was also key in President Johnson’s Great Society legislative campaign. She served twice on the U.S. House’s Education and Workforce Committee, helped begin Head Start and, so much more. (*Note: it was President Johnson who ‘gave’ us the original ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) now ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act)

Sadly, though, Warriors, Head Starthas been CCSS aligned for a while. The Education and Workforce Committee is a ‘lock, stock, and, barrel’ member of the CCSS Machine.

As far as the ‘Great Society’, we see those ties are being used for much of the social justice movement, also a key part of the CCSS MachineANDUN’s SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals) agenda. STEM, is a direct product to help drive education to these social justice ends.

The Language:

Warriors, the entire purpose of these twin Bills is this:“To support educational entities in fully implementing title IX and reducingand preventing sex discrimination in all areas of education.”Sadly, it takes 24 pages to explain what the ‘support’ means.On Page 2 of the Senate’s Bill version, you’ll see the National Women’s Law Center is mentioned. NWLC has helped former President Obama’s data mining pay scale initiative to get off the ground. They’ve also helped wage a major educational disparities campaign (again with the work and support of the White House).

The NWLC also has successfully forced in-depth and precisely detailed ‘student data rape’ to continue. Why? The more details the more we can level the playing field.

If the NWLC would look at the massive data mining in this way (as many of those of us in the War Vs the Core) they may realize just how serious accessing private student information is.

Did you know the NWLC also was key in getting Early Head Start and Head Start funds in ESSA? Also, those community development block grants which will fund the 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Promise Neighborhoods, and, more?

Warriors, how many times do we have to find out that our Congress is listening to the big bucks, not the everyday citizens?!

While S 1421 and HR 3828 are exact copies, what can we see embedded from the House’s copy?Page 3 “STEM Pipeline”used to describe the workforce aligned shift. (Scroll back up to what this really means) Page 4, NSF (National Science Foundation), again more CCSS Machine/UN endorsed agenda skewing the truth. Page 4, The Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network’s Reportinformation is used as justification. TheGLSENis also heavily back by key CCSS Machine member groups (for example: Wells Fargo, the Walt Disney Company, Target, and, many others)

Corporations tied to CCSS do NOT represent the people’s voice.

More Fed Ed Power:

Warriors, the Equity Act being considered in DC hasn’t seen much action that We the People have been made aware of, but, before we assume this type of action will go away, we need to consider that any of the DC bills I’ve been studying could be rolled out anytime now..or, in the future. We’ve seen it happen way too many times in the past.

We also need to consider that embedded in BOTH bills is room for more federal funding to dictate what happens at State and local levels in education; that the Dept of Education will expand to ensure ‘equity’ is achieved. This will show up in anti-bullying, ‘safe schools’, and other ‘wrap around’ services. Every single one of these were mandated in ESSA using Title 1 funds. However, other Title funds would now be COMBINED to align learning to, not an equity-like level, but to a ‘one-way-to-learn-so-you-can-earn system’.

Related:
Back in 2016, I revealed to you the Gender Intelligence going on in education. It’s tied to Pearson Publishing, the Clinton Global Initiative, the STEM of the UN, and, more! (*Note: Mrs. Mink was also a part of President Clinton’s team.)

Closing:

Warriors, these tactics are directly taken from the UN-inspired SDG Toolkit created in the US back in the early 2000s. I’ve shared this Toolkit many times.

We need to understand that S 1241 and HR 3828 use ‘equity’. Both use ‘equality’. We’ve seen how the two are NOT the same, do not mean the same, and, should not be interchangeably used! Yet, bill after bill from the federal level continues to use double speak.If you want to know WHY there’s an especially great level of misinformation with ‘equity’ and ‘equality’? My 2014 article will give you a fantastic place to look. (*Note: just in case the link embedded in that archive doesn’t work, here it is again.)

Just when you think think you’ve seen it all when it comes to the mind-numbing ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) and the overreaches into our lives from the CCSS Machine…

Would you believe over $47 million each fiscal year from now until 2020 is ear-marked for federally overseen education for delinquents, ‘at-risk’, neglected, and/or those students heading to prison.

What’s the big chunk of change going to be used for? Behavior interventions (code for SEL, social emotional learning), programs for Promised Neighborhoods, and everything in between which connects these.

Where will you find this information in ESSA? ‘Prison’ is written into the law 4 times. “Incarceration” is used only once. ‘Delinquent’ is inserted 11 times. Page numbers will be listed below.

Incarceration is on Page 223 (ESSA’s Final Law version). It is in Section 4623. This section states that the U.S. Secretary of Education will use a whopping percentage of federal funds. These funds will be doled out, in the famous Washington, D.C. style of competitive grants to each State willing to conform to create (or beef up) Promise Neighborhood programs. Why? Because, a government run program will help cut down on how many students are sent to jail.

(*Warriors, I inserted ‘education’ at the bottom of the list. The original image is from RallyPoint.com)

A Promise:

Speaking of “Promise Neighborhoods”, Warriors, is that these were simply part of an initiative directly created by the White HouseAND now codified by law. If you’d like my ‘collection’ of ESSA and Promise Neighborhood articles, find those here.

Another Promise Neighborhood/ESSA tidbit? They can be connected toSection 4623. Look below:

Getting To The “Captive” Education:

ESSA uses ‘Prison’ on pages: 180 (as part of Section 4108 “Activities to Support Safe and Healthy Students”),
291 (this is in the ‘cohort removal’ section which in also part of the ‘definitions’* in ESSA.), 293 (again, ‘cohort removal’),
339 in connection to the posthumous pardon for Jack Johnson.

*Definitions, if you’ve not looked at these, you should, Warriors. You’ll find longer school days as seen by the federal government; you’ll see what ‘expanded learning’ is as defined by educrats who wrote and voted on this Law, and more!

ESSA uses ‘Delinquent’ on Pages: 1 and 7 (where the ESSA’s Table of Contents are located);
Page 14 is where you’ll find the whopping amounts of money for ESSA’s commands to be adhered to. See below:

Page 53 you’ll see how there are to be ESSA education programs outside the school and not necessarily during school time hours for delinquent students;
Page 60 tells you how LEAs are to oversee the funds used for services for several sub-groups of students;
Page 99 is where Part D of ESSA begins. As you can see in the screen shot above, Part D’s activities fall under that $47 million plus funding.
Page 106 lays out the required terms of local flexibility demonstration agreement and how delinquent students fit into this. What does a ‘local flexibility demonstration agreement’ mean? Basically it the give/get system The government gives your State money to fund the schools and the States gets carry out the federal mandates. The money is calculated on a per-pupil basis.
On Page 179 mentoring and school counseling for all the sub-groups;
Page 190 you will see the sub grants given to the SEAs for the priority of reaching delinquent students (and other types of students).

Prison Reducing ESSA ‘Youth Promise Plan’:

Warriors, as we all know, anytime federal laws or bills use all capital letters to spell something, it’s an acronym. So, what does “Youth PROMISE Plan” stand for? It’s a Plan from your State to adhere to to ESSA . The Youth PROMISE Act has been introduced 3 times in DC. The last time was the 2015-16 Session.PROMISE means “(Prison Reduction through Opportunities, Mentoring, Intervention, Support, and Education)”

Rep. Bobby Scott (VA) was the main sponsor. Here is a quote from his announcementabout the Youth PROMISE Act. “There is overwhelming evidence to show that children can move from a cradle to prison pipeline to a cradle to college and career pipeline. All the credible research shows that a continuum of comprehensive, evidenced-based prevention and intervention programs for youth at risk of, or involved in, delinquent behavior will greatly reduce crime and save much more than they cost when the avoided law enforcement and social welfare expenditures are considered.” (*Note: I’ve been looking for ‘all the credible evidence’. I did find the CDF, Children’s Defense Fund, resources on the subject. More below.)

Warriors, Rep. Scott also serves on the House’s Education and Workforce Committee. It is driving the bus for the CCSS Machine and its CTE (Career Tech Education).

In Rep. Scott’s announcement, he cited the CDF (Children’s Defense Fund) as a source for the ‘pipeline’ information. I looked up the CDF.

Wow, the agenda is right there in their 2016 Annual Report. Protect critical investments in education, meeting with the U.S. Dept. of Education, having a winter 2017 retreat where Rep. Scott was a featured guest, and committing to protect data mining. (*You’ll find all this in the President’s Address) CDF works with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the School Superintendents Assoc. (AASA), and other CCSS Machine member groups. (*Click on the highlighted links for my articles proving the CCSS Machine activities of both these groups.)

CDF is a big supporter of Head Start and Early Head Start. Both of these have been given the CCSS/ESSA‘makeover’.

An interesting note about CDF, they’re under an unsatisfactory ‘warning’ by the BBB (Better Business Bureau) arm for charities (Give.org). Seems they are not as transparent as they should be.

CDF also has its own chain of schools. They are called “CDF Freedom Schools”. The pilot program was conducted in 2009 in Charlotte, NC. Among the history is an initiative called the ‘NC Building Youth’. Related, in 2011, NC’s Youth Task Force Report shows expansion of government programs targeting deliquent, ‘at-risk’, or heading to prison students.

If the CDF isn’t being transparent with its money, how transparent are they being with the ‘cradle to prison’ information, or the schools they run? How do they know a ‘cradle to prison’ can be replaced with a ‘cradle to career’ one? What evidence? What source? I did find one! The Gates Foundation grant to CDF in 2013 for establishing the Freedom Schools Teacher Institute.

Now, Warriors, let’s pause for a moment. We have a 2015-16 Act which has not been turned into law, yet it’s content for Youth Promise Plans appears to be embedded in ESSA!

From theNCEBC (National Council on Educating Black Children) a screen shot of important information. (*Notes: Rep. Bobby Scott is the NCEBC National Dean. The NCEBC is using the UNESCO definition for cultivating literacy in education.)My 2015 U.S. Department of Justice eye opening article is here.Related, a 2016 article of mine tying the U.S. Dept. of Labor and their “Youth Builder” Programs (very similar in nature to the Youth PROMISE Act) embedded in ESSA. When you look at the graphic for data mining at the federal Cabinet level, the U. S. Dept. of Justice will be near the bottom left-hand corner.

Rep. Bobby Scott’snewest Youth Bill for the 2017-18 Congressional session is titled Opening Doors for Youth Act (HR 1748). Warriors, it has not only the remnants of the Youth PROMISE Act, but the global likeness of the EU (European Union’s) Youth GuaranteeProgram that has pushed in the past. This Bill is currently in the House’s Ed/Workforce Committee and has a huge bi-partisan backing! (*Note: on Page 6 you’ll see a study by the “Measure of America” is cited as a credible source for this Bill. Measure of America is part of the non-profit Social Science Research Council.

Funds for “Measure of America” come from the many members of the CCSS Machine. For example, the U.S. House’s Ed and Workforce Committee, the UN, The European Commission, and, Jobs for the Future! The entire list can be found on their website.

Some funds for the SSRC (Social Science Research Council) come from big CCSS Machine member/groups, too. The Ford Foundation (it’s backing of CCSS/CTE/STEM Apprenticeships can be linked to youth development.), Helmsley Charitable Trust, Hewlett Foundation (their money is earmarked for SSRC’s use in Congressional research), the Rockefeller Foundation, and a host of global groups! The 2016 Financial Statement will give you lots of information on what SSRC does (including education and data) as well as give you a list of the grant suppliers. That list is near the end of the Statement.

Closing:

Warriors, make no mistake, I am not suggesting we do nothing to help troubled teens in America. However, I do believe, with my entire bevy of research, that guiding those students to a better way of living should be TOTALLY void of the CCSS Machine’s globally tied workforce/education alignment.

Unleashing more SEL on troubled teens will not be a solution. As far as the ‘credible’ research that SEL in ESSA actually is a good thing doesn’t come from a truthful base. It’s coming from groups tied to the CCSS Machine! (For example, this group is pleased as punch to partner with “New America”, but New America is funded in part, by the Gates Foundation! Oh, and the group working with New America is the National Institute for Early Education Research, ANOTHERCCSS Machine organization!

Also backing more SEL from ESSA in our classrooms is the NEA, a large global/CCSS Machine member group. Their statement on these type of youths most ‘at-risk’? SEL builds resilience.

As far as the CCSS Machine sees it, all this is good and proper because it expands the ‘student success’ and is aptly justified for juvenile/young adult ‘outcomes’.

The way the Anti Fed Ed Warriors should see it, these are just more ways to control citizens, expand government, and, continue a cycle of pain.

You’ve heard and read several times over about the global overreach in American education. So, finding out one more way in which it is playing out across our nation won’t be welcome news. It will help us make sense of how un-American the 2017-18 school year will be. This will not only be for our beloved students, but our teachers, as well.

What Prompted Me To Even Look:

Recently, Warriors, I saw a post on social media (several Warriors had shared this) about NY City Schools deciding to ditch graded assignments, where no one was going to receive a failing mark, and where NO pressure to learn. In fact, the NY Times published this article.

If you don’t have time to read the entire article, I’ll sum it up:Competency based education (CBE) on heavy doses of technology, Common Core, and a host of sold-out to the CCSS Machine beliefs. All through a program called the Mastery Collaborative. If you look at the fine print of the article, you’ll see it wasn’t written by the NY Times, but by the Hechinger Report. The Hechinger Report is up to its eyeballs in the CCSS Machine member organizations and their checkbooks. The only good news in the article is that Jane Robbins is mentioned as being critical of the entire CBE system.

When you look at the screen shot below, notice the look on the faces of the students. I’m not sure if their looks of non-excitement are due to the fact of their school work is boring or that it’s the middle of summer and they’re in a classroom.

Warriors, here are a few facts: 1) CBE is not new to America, or to the NY City school system. Thanks to WIOA*, HEA*, and ESSA*, CBE is on the rise. It’s also got global roots.
2) The high school you see above is Flushing International High School in Queens, NY.
3) You can find out about the school here (look for Page 484).
4) The article tells you all about the Mastery Collaborative, but leaves out that the former name of the CBE program was Digital Ready.
5) Many NY City Schools receive Apple computers. Applepartnered with the Obama Administration’s ConnectEd Initiative and has given thousands of computers ever since. (Look up at the screen shot again, what brand of computers do you see?)
6) Part of the framework the NY City School system uses in strong family/community connections to schools.
(*Note: to find out where I found the facts for 4, 5, and 6, from the NY City School system, look here.)
7) To learn more about the Mastery Collaborative, go here.
By the way, Warriors, here is one of the chief mindsets of Mastery learning (CBE): “Everyone understands how to succeed, because expectations are shared from the start. Basing grades on objective outcomes narrows the chance of implicit bias in grading. A growth mindset approach means that students hear “not yet” or “approaching mastery,” instead of “you fail.” “

The points I want you to take from NY are these:1) open design classrooms
2) any time of year (think year-round)
3) strong family/community/school ties which are meant to control(Warriors, keep these in mind. I’ll show you a 2009 UN document which embodies these very ideas.)

Warriors, you know this isn’t the first time I’ve shown you how ‘globally competent’ NC is making education. To see where the 2017-18 school year is going, let’s take a step back to 2013 first. Look below:

Part of the rhetoric and justification for NC’s openess (overtness) to being ‘global’ is simply stated in the 2013 Report, ‘if it’s not sustainable, it’s not strategy.’
Consider this quote featured in the Report:

Warriors, if you’d like the access the link seen in the screen shot, visit here.

To see both the ASCD and the latest for NC’s global love for ESSA and education, be sure to read my recent article.

The points to take away from NC:
1) global shifts in education are cemented into our States (including legislation).
2) as the shifts continue expect the ‘sustainability’ propaganda to ramp up.
3) globalizing means massive data trails, regardless of education choice or age.(Warriors, again, keep these in mind. They too will be found in the UN 2009 document.)

Overt Moves in FL:

This open move to shift education in America to a UN supported global mindset(manipulation of beliefs) has raised lots of concern. What is it? A behavior molding system used on students as young as kindergarten!

Fellow Warrior, Nancy Bailey just published her article on the mess. What I uncovered about the behavior system which is NOT exclusive to one school (it can be found nation-wide, as well as globally) can be seen below in a screen shot version of a Facebook conversation from the featured school:

To see the entire thread of conversation, visit here. Warriors, be sure to note that ANY behavior intervention is NOT curriculum, but a practice of services!

Long time Anti Fed Ed Warrior, Anita Hoge has been warning us for years about the SEL (Social Emotional Learning), as have many other modern-day Warriors. SEL is most definitely a part of the UN’s SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), most especially from the early 2000s American created ‘Tool Kit’!

The overall attitude of theSDG Tool Kit is to use education as a ‘change agent’ for shifting attitudes, values, and beliefs. Another dangerous attitude is the fact that all this change is comng from WITHIN our established school systems and communities.For the third time, Warriors, keep all this from FL in mind. You’ll see how this, too, connects to the 2009 UN document.

By now, I’m sure you are puzzled as to how much of this PAST activity is going to be played out during the 2017-18 school year?

Simply put, as long as the US kowtows to the United Nations and their SDGs, we will NOT be free of the constant shift in education we are seeing. Why? Among the 3 top ‘designs’ behind the agenda to conform the entire planet: Economy, social, and environment. Education is the ONE unifying ‘weapon’ to solve all 3 designs.

To see the Obama ‘Fact Sheet’ on committing America to the Agenda 2030 and the SDGs, visit here.

To see the position of the current President on the nation’s economy and the SDGs role, visit the University of Indiana’s Maurer School of Law researched document.(*Note: Page 22 is where you’ll see the connections. However, read the preceding pages first to get the full context.)

**Warriors, the bottom line is the Trump Administration is hyper focused on jobs and the economy. We’ve seen recent news on the President and other leaders touting the importance of aligning education to workforce (job) needs for a better economy!

**Warriors, it doesn’t matter which political party our leaders (national, state-level, or local), when the powers-that-be committed us to this agreement, it meant every single citizen.

******************************************************************

Other Overt Moves:

From 2017: The Technocracy News and Trends article (Aug. 16, 2017) where the same UN boss as seen above is speeding up the implementation of the SDGs. For how it will continue to be seen in education across America and to find out the team tasked with ensuring all member nations comply, go here.

From 2015: An excerpt from the UN Declaration for SDGs/Agenda 2030, “We, the Heads of State and Government and High Representatives, meeting at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from 25-27 September 2015…have decided today on new global Sustainable Development Goals. On behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic decision on a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of universal and transformative Goals and targets. We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030….We are committed to achieving sustainable development in its three dimensions – economic, social and environmental – in a balanced and integrated manner….As we embark on this great collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind…This is an Agenda of unprecedented scope and significance. It is accepted by all countries and is applicable to all..”

One note, Warriors, in accepting this Declaration, it also accepted any and all previous UN agreements (ie: the Brazilian meeting where Agenda 21 was accepted, etc.)

The 2009 UN Document, “Open Schools”:

Actually, Warriors, the entire title is “Open Schools: Strengthening CompetenciesContinuing Education for the Open School Programme: Education and Culture for Peace”

So how does this fit into the current American education reform? 1) Competencies (as in the CBE shift from NY near the beginning of this article); 2) Lifelong education (as in the global birth to death shift we saw in NC, above); and 3) Social programs (as in the social behavior manipulation from FL, also above).

Every single one of these UN-derived threads is woven into the ESSA via: 1) digital and technology mandates, 2) competency, skill based assessment mandates, and 3) increased social emotion behavior management. These threads are woven very craftily to entangle not only the students, but the teachers, parents, and citizens. These UN planned threads will be in the hands of businesses and government. NO exceptions.

Warriors, if you still do not see how Open Education from the UN is in America, check out theOEC (Open Education Consortium: The Global Network for Open Education). According to their website, at least 3 Americans serve on the Board of Directors.

For contrast, if you’ve seen the NPR article about how “open schools are dead in America”, I urge you to read it. It claims ‘open ed’ started in America back in the 1970s. It also states that some of the threads have survived. (open classrooms, collaboration, student-led lessons)

Sure, they’ve survived. In the 2017-18 school year, we’ll find them in NY, NC, FL, and all the other 47 States. Thanks to ESSA.

Warriors Against the Core, Anti CCSS Warriors, and Anti Fed Ed Warriors:School’s back in session, or almost ready. Are we?

Thanks to the CCSS Machine’s grasp on the classrooms and every outlet connected to them, (ie: public libraries, museums, etc.) Several States have begun pushing their ‘academic’ calendars up so much, there’s hardly any summer vacaction at all for the teachers, leaders, or students. Think of it as “Live From the US: Conformity!”

You see, to have ‘lifelong learning’, you have to produce an atmosphere of constant information being fed into the minds of those ‘learning’.

As far as the CCSS Machine is concerned, once your student (or, even you as a student) is hooked into the ‘lifelong’ part of education, they will not be free of it. That’s why ESSA was so heavy on the digital and technology portions of the mandates.

Remember, Warriors, I shared with you over 1 year ago how the digital overloads in ESSA were setting us up for 365 days of 24/7 computer access. If you missed it, find it here.

Of course, since ESSA’s passage into law, you’ve seen many of the CCSS Machine member organizations bend over backward to bring you every conceivable digital and technology based known to humans. This applies to our States, as well.

The accepted ‘sales pitch’? All this technology will lead to jobs..jobs for the 21st Century. No, the ugly reality is it isn’t about giving Johnny and Suzy a leg up, it’s about controlling Johnny and Suzy’s lives.

Because ‘lifelong learning’ is now a de facto part of education, we’ll continue to see a constant flow of data. Accountants would refer to it as FIFO, ‘first in, first out’. Data makes money for everyone in the CCSS Machine..as well as everyone connected to that Machine, EXCEPT those being educated/indoctrinated.

Look below for a photo by Will Lion depicting the data overflow:

According to the article this photo was featured in, our brains take in as much information in a single day, as one of our 15th Century counterparts would take in throughout an entire year. This article also points out that when it comes to too much computer time, it’s still a people problem, not a machine’s.

However, Warriors, consider this in the context of school days. So much pressure is exerted to learn more, learn quickly, and then take a test. This doesn’t even cover the constant assessment algorithms embedded in every computer activity used in education. This applies to teachers and students.

Again, ESSA’s assessment mandates will keep the alignment to these constant measures up. Most, without parental consent or knowledge.Think of this as “Live From the US: Mental Abuse!”

**What if you have an older student, or, are the adult student? Because ESSA’s education standards are aligned to the ‘post-secondary readiness’ standards of WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), you’re hooked in as well!

Education is being revamped SO much so, it hardly resembles anything worthy of participating in! Our teachers are being conformed to a strict format, our students are being plugged in younger and younger each year..and for longer periods of time.Think of this as “Live From the US: Intentional Frustration!”

“Live From The US, The UN!”:It’s all part of the slick propaganda to ‘rethink’ how we learn or educate others. It’s also a big step to global conformity. (*Note: the global conformity is even being unleashed on private education and home education. In this previously published article, I showed you how UN (United Nations) ideology is ushered in via clubs. Toward the close of this article, you can see the same ideology ties to STEM.)

One of the biggest “American” education propaganda pieces which fits nicely into the global conformity is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). STEM is embedded in ESSA and WIOA (don’t forget the HEA, Higher Education Act) in several ways. Mainly: Career Tech Education, Career Clusters, Career Paths (or Pathways). STEM also will unite the ‘lifelong learning’ to jobs (ie: workforce). If you doubt the connections between STEM, the UN, and the workforce, I urge you to read and consider this.

Before we move on, be sure to read about the Global STEM Alliance (started right here in the USA) as part of First Global (Dean Kamen).

The connection to the CCSS Machine is quite simple: Dean Kamen (think Segway inventor turned STEM guru) has received funding from Coca-Cola, The Gates Foundation, Toyota, and Johnson/Johnson for some of his work in health care equipment. For the First Global? The main funder:Toyota, a well-known CCSS Machine global member organization. Toyota’s also big on STEM. (Source)If you’d like to see how the World Bank (also tied to the global education reform) is working with Kamen’s First Global, visit the blog.

“Live From The US: New High School?”:

I recently saw this (below) in a well known magazine which has zero to do with education.

The full page ad shared a little about how over the past 100 years, our education system has remained the same and how it’s time to ‘rethink’ it, especially for high school.

I first wrote about XQ back in 2015. Then, I recently re-visited the CCSS Machine member organization. The earliest article (Sept. 2015) exposed “Project XQ’s” part in “Redesigned High Schools”. Also involved? Apple, Inc., ConnectED, and other educratic partnerships. The second 2015 article featured the CCSS Machine’s chokehold on network TV for ‘educational purposes’. You’ll be able to see other CCSS Machine member organizations and how XQ became partners with them for “National Graduation Day”.Warriors, think of it as “Live From the US: Indoctrination by Broadcast!”

Speaking of ‘broadcast’, below is XQ’s Super School Movement. There are already 10 in operation across America.

Now, let’s look at the colorful ad again, this time notice the highlighted portions.

Warriors, do you notice XQ can be tied back to the U.S. Dept. of Ed as well as Steve Jobs’ widow? (or visit here) Warriors, the EIF (Entertainment Industry Foundation) was begun in the 1940s. It’s got globally reaching arms in education, cancer research, and other projects. From their 2015 Annual Report, “Think It Up” page, you’ll see the globally overreaching CCSS Machine members: The Gates Foundation and EXXON Mobile as key ‘support’:

Warriors, according to the EIF 2015 990 form, the group has lobbying power as well as foreign grant making powers.

If you didn’t know this, here’s the original documentation from the Obama Administration, creating DP.

If you missed the ESSA’s embedding for DP, find the references to not only DP, but the other digital/technology ESSA strangleholdshere. (*Note: this article also reveals how Digital Promise was embedded in the HEA, Higher Education Act.

By ESSA tying to WIOA and HEA, what’s in one law, will show up in all 3 in some fashion.)

If you’d like to see how the ESSA/DP is playing out in real time in NC, click here.(*Note: look at the leadership involved in your State. Are they pushing for digital overloading your schools?)

So, how does DP play into the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals? How does XQ fit into all this?Digital Promise’s own documents! For starters, look at the CCSS Machine members who are funding DP:

Then, look at this evidence which ties DP to the UN’s SDGs(*Note: Digital Promise Global was launched in 2015):

You can access the DP 2016 Annual Report here. As far as the teachers, DP has much to do with their alignment to digital CCSS Machine ways. Because of this, you’ll see LESS deviation from a prescribed format. This means LESS freedom for HOW teachers will be able to exercise teaching abilities.

Warriors, think of it as “Live From the US: Globally Aligned Manipulation”!

Closing:

Warriors, earlier in 2017, I showed you how Project XQ was part of the undermining of local schools..the very ones your students may very well be in or heading to.

If you wish to see for yourselves the UN’s plans for ‘lifelong learning’, visit their 2009 Education Return on Investment document. What you see below was featured in this article where ‘lifelong learning’ was also discussed.

1) John’s article refers to a 11/29/16 meeting where his county’s school board made a presentation. The reporter who was there gathered quite a bit of evidence from that meeting and published a separate article about the massive amounts of data (school related and not) being taken from students. (*Note: that article is worth reading as well. Find it: http://www.rgj.com/story/news/education/2016/11/29/security-student-information-called-into-question/94634484/ )

2) John is also the administrator of the Nevadans Against Common Core. As long as I’ve been sharing my research nationwide, his note about not only fighting Common Core, but the data mining reminds me how serious a Warrior he is.

3) “Infinite Campus” is the data mining tool of choice in all the NV school districts.

4) Google Apps of Ed, Edmodo, and Microsoft’s third party data collection and use is a big concern to many parents in John’s district. Good for them! Hold those leaders accountable, ask the tough questions and do not accept a non-responsive answer.

5) While Edmodo is ‘free’ to school districts, the money made to pay for it is based off the student data itself.

*********************************************************************
The remainder of this article will be to look behind the curtains of the data collectors to see what more we need to learn and share.
*********************************************************************

In a few words, we can see the reason is a streamlined track from kindergarten to college graduation for ‘post-secondary success’.

What we also need to know is that this particular district began data mining students back in 1998, well before all the ‘college and career’ or ‘post-secondary readiness’ cow-chip-education-reform-rhetoric. According to the document I found, it was determined (some time between 1998 and now) that such information was needed and a P-16 data tracking system (called the Education Alliance P-16 Council) was created. Below is what Washoe’s been up to since the Council was created. Note the CCSS Machine member group highlighted:

First, some quick facts: 1) NV is looked upon as a champion CTE (Career Tech Education). I am referring to a Sept. 21st, 2016 Education and Workforce Committee Hearing where the NV Superintendent of the Dept. of Public Education was a featured witness. See my article:https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/no-truer-words/

1b) While NV has not been awarded any WDQI (Workforce Data Quality Initiative) grant money yet, it DOES receive WIA (Workforce Investment Act) funding until 2020. The funding is used in a State-wide program called “NevadaWorks”. See the U. S. Dept. of Labor for the WDQI information on which States have been given grant money: https://www.doleta.gov/performance/workforcetechnicalassist.cfm“NevadaWorks”website: http://www.nevadaworks.com/

If you’re not sure what WDQI grant money does for your State, see below:

3) HEA (Higher Education Act, last updated in 2008) is also embedded in BOTHWIOA and ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act). (See: https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2015/12/05/weekend-news-essas-untold-ties-to-hea/ )4) CTE is embedded in HEA. NV was one of the first grant recipients.See: https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2015/09/12/weekend-news-heads-up-higher-ed-cte-update/ )5) All 3: ESSA (formerly ESEA, Elementary and Secondary Education Act), WIOA, and HEA data collect, data mine, and use said data to streamline your student’s course load to fit a pre-determined career(aka: Career Pathways) and/or a college path, hence the need to switch the names FROMCommon CoreTOCollege and Career Readiness! (*Note: to see the 2015 WIOA/CTE Alignment PDF for all 50 States, 2015-06-Aligned-by-Design-WIOA-and-CTE )

6) With all the legislative unity AND the P3s unity, education remaining in its true form doesn’t stand a chance in NV,or, any other State!

Here’s an illustration of where all the data goes. While this was used in an article I published BEFOREHR5 (Student Success Act)and S1177 (Every Child Achieves) were combined to create the ESSA as we know it, the data mining hasn’t stopped. Each of these Depts. has 3rd party vendors as well…globally.:

While the 9 federal levels are easy to spot, look at the variety of other agencies which are not easy to identify as connected.

Put another way, below is the ‘talent pipeline’ illustration which will help you visualize what Johnny and Suzy are destined for in this data collected/shared and sold/aligned education era:

NV ranks right up there, in this effort, too. Back in 2015, the Reno area (the same area John lives in) was awarded big bucks, here’s an excerpt from the nation-wide grant winners announcement, “Board of Regents, Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), obo Truckee Meadows Community College – Reno, NV Truckee Meadows Community College was awarded a $2.2 million grant to fund the Northern Nevada College Apprenticeship Consortium. This consortium, which includes employers Tesla Motors and Panasonic will develop registered apprenticeship programs to increase the skills and career opportunities for 400 workers in the burgeoning advanced manufacturing sector in Northern Nevada.”(You can find the rest of the announcement in my article,https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2015/09/12/weekend-news-heads-up-higher-ed-cte-update/ )

Does your State have an Apprenticeship Council? Look below to see NV’s:

Infinite Campus information:1) Infinite Campus is headquartered in MN and has access to 7.8 million student’s data/information across 45 States. They are big on ‘personalized learning’ and ‘transforming education’. See their vision and goals, https://www.infinitecampus.com/company/vision-and-goals

1b) From the Infinite Campus’s news, this excerpt, ” Infinite Campus customers include school districts, regional consortia, state departments of education and the federal government.”

1c) If you wish to learn about Infinite Campus’s Statewide Data Collection:https://www.infinitecampus.com/products/state-edition (7 States so far are ‘on board’, KY, HI, MT, SD, ME, NV, and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education*)
*Not a State, obviously, but oversees all the education business of each of the Native American tribes.

Thanks, John, and the many like you who care about what is going on with our student’s data. I hope and trust what I’ve found and shared adds to your arsenal of information in fighting our War Vs the Core in NV and across America.

Warriors, maybe you remember back in the early 90s, a PBS show called “Magic School Bus”. I know I sure do. My children loved the show.

Well, it’s back and fully aligned to not only to the CCSS Machine, but to it’s counter-part, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

The show is to be used as a tool to entice children into anything and everything STEM has to offer. All the way from its “STEM education” for a “STEM nation”, to its “STEM citizens”. (These references are to the PCAST Report I’ve shared with you many times where it’s revealed that Common Core’s introduction into education was to help hide the agenda behind STEM’s roll-out.) The show’s also sure to include the “A” (for Arts). Thus, making “STEM” become “STEAM”. (I’ve also exposed THAT agenda in education reform as well.)

I was really saddened to hear another really fun educational show has become ensnared by the CCSS Machine.

What Lurks Behind That Bus:

In a word, Scholastic, Inc. This CCSS Machine member organization has totally sold out to the education reform. Scholastic, Inc. is the company which owns “Magic School Bus”. The updated STEM Version is to be called “Magic School Bus 360”.

In another word, PBS. This CCSS Machine member organization has seen fit to have Sesame Street aligned to Common Core, so why NOTMagic School Bus?!

In a third word, Netflix. This company is owned by an educratic reformer convinced America should eliminate all school boards. Netflix also is streaming the 90s versions of Magic School Bus.

From Scholastic, Inc’s press release, this excerpt, “Uniquely aligned with the global emphasis on STEM education, the new Magic School Bus360° showcases all fields of science, while embracing technology as a creative tool that supports learning and impacts daily life. The series provides an exceptional opportunity for kids to watch, learn and explore science, inspiring them to become active participants in the scientific process through the show’s extraordinary adventures and fantastic discoveries.”

According to the Magic School Bus website, the Bus makes real life stops at libraries across the nation. Given how ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) has communities aligning to the education reform, these stops will be a great opportunity for more STEM agenda to be spread around. See: http://www.scholastic.com/magicschoolbus/travel/index.htm

While you will not see “Common Core” in plain sight on the Magic School Bus website, I did find this as evidence:

It’s no secret how much federal overreach has taken place in education. It’s also no secret how much the outgoing President has participated in these efforts either. It was, in fact, his PCAST (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology)group which gave him that Report back in 2010.

Warriors, while we see the damage of the STEM agenda/CCSS Machine behind us, we know that in the coming days, there will be much to fight in this continued War Vs. the Core. How much of the top-down overreach will we be free of is anyone’s guess at this point. Just remember, every single day this type of poor education continues, is another day we’ve lost many great minds.

I know when you invented the first machine which would go on to become the pattern for computers, you had no plans to see your creation turned into a tool to be used against people. I imagine you were just thrilled to use your math skills to build something to help them instead. It probably was hard being so ‘different’, back then. It hasn’t gotten much better in 2016.

I’m so sorry your hard work has been manipulated to now be on the threshold of ruining education for everyone.

(*Note: Anti CCSS Warriors, if you do not know Mr. Charles Babbage’s contributions to math or his quest to build calculators; how he is known world-wide for being the ‘father of computers’, look him up. It’s quite a great history lesson.)

‘Meet’ the Education Nanny:

Actually, Warriors, we already KNOW the ‘education nanny’: technology! We’ve seen the massive overreach of technology in our classrooms, our lives; and are now finding out how technology via ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) will INCREASE even more. You’ve read not only my research on this topic. There are other Anti CCSS Warriors who consistently share the ins-and-outs/ups-and-downs of HOW this is happening.

However, let’s briefly review:
1) The technology nanny is global and backed by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
2) No educational choice will escape the data mining that accompanies technology or the alignment to workforce based education as laid out in ESSAand connected federal laws.
3) Mandates and funding in ESSA bring the technology nanny into your home.
4) New strides are being made daily by the CCSS Machine to sell us on how MORE tech is not only a good thing, but needed to survive as a global citizen.
5) Many current candidates in every level of the 2016 elections (from federal to your town) are helping spin the technology nanny via ‘digital textbooks’, ‘better connectivity for our cities’, etc.

Examples of the technology nanny already exist,Warriors!
1) Digital badges in education for leaders AND students.
2) ‘Smart Cities’ (Part of the i3 Initiative from the White House)
3) 1:1 (one computer for one person in every classroom)
4) No textbooks/no homework (you, as a Warrior cannot fight what you cannot hold in your hand and read. You can’t help with homework when there is none. You also are losing your right to see what Johnny and Suzy are learning.)
5) Diplomas and transcripts are being phased out and replaced with national credentials which follow you throughout your education AND employment.

So, What’s Really New?

I do not know about you, but recently, I was able to see some TV ads displaying new toys. What’s so thinly veiled? The technology nanny is targeting our babies, even BEFORE they are ready to learn in a school setting. Of course, thanks to the Universal Pre K push by the current administration and ESSA’s language mandates, expect these sorts of toys to not only increase, but to become more not so thinly veiled in aligned agenda.

For example, one of the ads I saw was on a cable channel during a popular adult viewing time (after 9 pm). The ad was for the latest ‘smart baby’ coding (as in old school computer programming skills) toy.

Coding is how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is becoming rammed down our throats. This fits right into the Master STEM Plan I’ve been telling you about from almost the very beginning of my blog articles. If you’ve missed the Master Plan, it’s basically this: a STEM education (which was ushered in at about the same time as CCSS, so no one would really notice) for a STEM workforce to become a STEM nation.

If you look at ESSAand all its post-secondary readiness (ie: college and career readiness, challenging state academic standards, and CTE (Career Tech Education), etc.) you’ll notice that a huge portion of all this readiness is in the STEM fields. There’s also ‘region specific training’ involved.

Then look at the i3 Initiative, much of it is all about technology..from studying our brains, to Smart Cities. Then look back to ESSA.

Infrastructure to ensure every student, regardless of educational choice or location is to be 24/7 hooked into technology. If you are not sure what i3 stands for it’s “Investing in Innovation”. Related: Texas is fighting right now against having “Districts of Innovation”.

Again, look back to ESSA. Also, refer back to the White House, the “Computer Science for All” is to be joined into ESSA. Digital Promise, another White House Initiative is now codified in ESSA.

In this screen shot, you’ll see VTech has experts your parents are not only to rely on, but to seek out their advice. Considering they are aligned to CCSS, STEM, and STEAM. Most of their products are for early learners, I think that’s shameful.

As far as the STEM expert, her advice? “One of the most important things a parent should do is to expose their child early and frequently to the use of technology. Many schools are now are moving away from traditional textbooks and moving toward the use of technology for teaching and completing assignments.”

To see her entire statement full of not only agenda but a handy sales pitch, https://www.vtechkids.com/parenting/article/%7B279909C9-2D12-47A1-88B7-C974153AB22A%7D/Dr_Carla_C_Johnson_STEM__Art__STEAM

Is Purdue tied to the CCSS Machine? It’s a Land Grant University (LGUs). Between ESSA, WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) and the HEA (Higher Education Act), LGUs are ensnared. Purdue also has begun re-inventing high school via their Polytechnic High School.

From EdSurgeNews (a media source), how SEL (Social Emotional Learning) will be used in technology.
Notice the bottom left hand corner of the image. Thanks to ESSA, SEL begins before Pre-K.

To see the entire article: https://www.edsurge.com/news/2016-10-17-how-to-weave-advisory-into-academics-plus-10-resources-for-teaching-sel

To be a great ‘digital/techno nannied student’, you will need ‘digital techno nannied teachers’. EdSurge News also published an article back in Aug. 2016 (which oddly resurfaced a few days ago on Twitter) about:

Warriors,I hope you can see that the intent is apparent: we are to educate for technology, not academics. I hope you can also see how interconnection all this mess is. Mr. Babbage set out to create something useful for the world. How shameful it is that those who followed in his footsteps were not so kindhearted.

If you need any of my previous published articles about i3, STEM, STEM to STEAM, etc., please either contact me in the comments section OR search the blog on your own. If we wish to preserve America, we must continue to expose the re-purposing of our educational system.

Lastly, look for my follow up article to this one, where I show you how the Congressional Budget has not only paved the way for this, but how ESSA is involved.

Yes, Anti-Fed Ed Warriors, you saw it correctly…Dr. John King, U.S. Secretary of Education has waxed ‘collective’ when it comes to your students. We’ve known for a while his attitude towards parents, so it shouldn’t be a surprise when he comes up with yet another insulting comment.

Climbing on My Soapbox for a Moment:

‘Everybody’ did not help me birth or raise my children. I didn’t help you birth or raise yours. We CERTAINLY do NOT need the U.S. Dept. of Education’s help either!!
I do NOT desire to see anyone’s child climb on board King’s ‘we’re-all-in-this-together’ bandwagon. The popular mindset in D.C.: we need as many folks as possible to raise/teach our kids. If this continues: we won’t have a bandwagon of student’s champions, but I fear, village idiots running amuck! It appears, however, that King is determined to get as many on his bandwagon as he can. What do I mean?! Let me climb off my soapbox and we’ll find out.

As I usually do, I’ll only point out the things that need our attention the most. For example, get a load of the bandwagon-mindset titleNPR chose to circulate the interview.‘King/status quo/unacceptable’ ?!!? Are you kidding me?! Has NO ONE at NPR read ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act)?! Has NO ONE at NPR talked with Congress lately?! Sure, they obviously talked to King, but he’s a CCSS Machine disciple.

Those in the D.C. arm of the CCSS Machine wouldn’t know ‘quality education’ if it sat up and punched them!
King is acting out what the CCSS Machine wants..and it WANTS STATUS QUO citizens!

As far as the interview, here are the bandwagon-worthy statements NPR and/or King had the audacity to utter.1) NPR: “Earlier this week, his agency proposed new rules that would govern how school districts distribute federal money meant to support the education of low-income kids. The rules are intended to ensure that these federal funds, known as Title I, can only be used in addition to state and local money and not instead of those funds.”

Excuse me, but does anyone see the bandwagon mindset? HISagency?! Governing how Fed $$ is spent?!

What was included in King’s response? “And so this is really about requiring districts to direct resources to the kids who need them most, to ensure that students have access to pre-K, to advanced coursework, to school counselors.”

Hold the horses, Dr. King! The amount of federal overreach into education has gone far enough! We DO NOT need NOR want more ways for you to require, mandate, order, or govern for us. The ironic thing is that school counselors have been ‘encouraged’ to become Career Track/Pathway and/or College and Career Readiness sales personnel! Pre-K should be up to the parents, not the government. Not every student should go to Pre-K. They need those crucial parental bonding times. (*Note: be sure you read how upset he is over Civil Rights when it comes to AP (Advanced Placement) courses. When you factor in how un-advanced those courses have been reduced to, he should be incensed about that ‘status quo’ move.)

2) The sympathy card is played by both. Whhaaa…Grow up. Most of us have hard times and don’t go on to purposefully muck up millions of students, teachers, education leaders, and abuse taxpayers money to achieve the ‘muckness of it all’.

3) The charter school/school choice card is played. Again, did no one read ESSA? ‘School choice’ is a mirage waiting for us to fall into! Charters are being aligned now to take over public schools in some states as a way to ‘fix’ those low ‘whole school grades/report cards’. If you ever need a fine example of P3 (public private partnership) disasters, look at the CCSS Machine and what’s it’s done to education.

4) NPR: “… is part of the play here on these new regulations is that if affluent schools realize they might lose something, that that might create some urgency around making sure that less affluent kids get what they need – is that part of the logic of this?”

Oh NO they DIDN’T! There is absolutely, positively NOTHINGplayful about ESSA or Dr. King’s rein as the top person in charge of education at the federal level! As far as ‘logic’, leveling education to a one-size-serves-all is the entire agenda.

This is where King’s response you see in the tweet above comes into context. But..what ELSE did he utter? Here’s the entire set of comments. “I hope in the end it’s that folks see that they have a stake in the success of other people’s children. The reality is you can’t build walls high enough to keep the fate of your kids separate from the fate of the kid down the block, down the street, down the road, in the next community over – all our kids’ fates are bound up together. And the work that we’re doing on supplement not supplant, the work that we’re doing on socioeconomic diversity in schools and promoting efforts to increase school diversity, all of that is about saying we are one community and we are ultimately stronger together.”

Ahh, yes..Dr. King, your global citizenship card is in the mail!

Second Stop, A Fed Ed Tour to Inspire:

Yes, the U.S. Dept. of Ed is, once again, polishing up their CCSS/CTE (Common Core State Standards/Career Tech Education) indoctrination bandwagon using OUR taxpayer funds to convince (oh wait, sorry, it is to inspire us) all Americans how ‘opportunity’ awaits.

What opportunity/mediocrity will King help promote on this latest bandwagon show?
By the way, King is a puppet for the CCSS Machine in each of these.

a) Pell Grants (used in the HEA, Higher Education Act). Pell has been refigured to align with stipulations in WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) This includes “Second Chance Pell Grants”.
b) America’s College Promise (used in secondary and post-secondary education, White House created and federally funded) will be found in ESSA, WIOA, and HEA. Totally aligned to the CCSS Machine. Often sold as ‘free college’ or ‘free community college’.
c) ConnectED (used in Pre-K to career, public libraries, and more) If you missed by eye opening revelation of how ConnectEd is not only a White House created Initiative, then you need to see it. It’ll show you tons to help you connect the indoctrination dots.

d) Pre-K for All (mandated in ESSA and based on universal design for learning; will start our babies out in the ways of the CCSS Machine, not our ways.)
e) Promise Neighborhoods (codified in the ESSA, this White House created and led Initiative is now law. With it will come whole community/family alignment to the CCSS Machine in the guise of ‘student success’.)
f) Computer Science for All (another White House created and championed Initiative. The Fed Ed 2017 Budget Requests for this are astronomical. It is also woven into Item C, ConnectED. This is meant for every citizen’s alignment, not just students.
g) Teach to Lead (2017 Budget figures are ‘off the charts’ as well as every organization leading the teachers on how to lead students? CCSS Machine banner carrying member organizations.)

The rest of the items are woven into ESSA, WIOA, and or HEA collectively where needed. They include Race to the Top, college affordability, school turnarounds and anything connected. If they are in all 3 of the laws, they’ll be in one of them.

The video for “Opportunity for All” is below. In the first few seconds, you’ll hear each of the above programs championed by the President of the United States. Please note how many of the above programs are from his office. Remember, this President doesn’t have an educational background, but rather legions of educrats advising him.

Closing:

Warriors, I encourage you to go to one of the bandwagon tour stops. Protest the use of your tax money used against us. Protest the unjust activity of using ‘opportunity’ as a guise for ‘control’!
If you cannot attend: tweet, email, or call Dr. King, the U.S. Dept. of Ed., and Congress!!
Join the nationally recognized anti fed-ed groups, like U.S. PIE (United States Parents Involved in Education, http://www.uspie.org), share this information with someone who needs it. More more truth we raise, the more the bandwagon will shrink.

Warriors Against the Core, I do hope your Labor Day Weekend was tremendous.

A New Lead in My Local Newsletter:

I must admit, Warriors, the CCSS education reform hasn’t died now that ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) is law. BUT what has changed are the ‘in our faces’ moves the CCSS Machine is making when it comes to not just education in the classrooms, but everywhere else, too! As we know the main goal isn’t just transforming education, but rather, our entire nation. Too much research (from this blog and countless other Warriors) has been produced for this to be a fallacy.

So, what could possibly be the ‘new lead’? What newsletter? How is this to impact me when we don’t live in the same location? What does this have to do with the CCSS Machine or ESSA? My dear Warriors, I’m so glad to share the answers below.

First, the short answers. Longer facts will follow.

1) The ‘new lead’ is the local cable company has a new program just in time for ‘back to school’.
2) The newsletter is one which is included monthly in the city utility bill.
3) This is happening everywhere.
4) It connects (literally) your town’s infrastructure to the CCSS Machine and ESSA (via funds). It also takes in WIOA funds.

Fact #1:“My” local cable company is a P3 (public private) partnership/entity. I don’t support it at all. Never have. At that point, my decision wasn’t based on education research. It’s just a bad idea to use public funds for something the town has no right to use as was chosen. Our voices, as taxpayers, weren’t important.
The company’s name? “MI-Connection” (short for ‘Mooresville Iredell-Connection’. (Mooresville is the town, Iredell is the county) To say the enterprise has been welcomed, successful, and problem-free would be an outright lie.
The MI-Connection’s ‘new’ program? It’s called “Reach”. Actually, the ‘Reach Program’ is a 4 year old P3 between the cable company and the local school district. “Reach” stands for ‘Reach Every Available Community Household’ Program.

There are catches each household has to be subjected to. However, before we dig into REACH, look at the picture above. Look at the turquoise color on the right hand side of the emblem. “ALL PROVIDERS WELCOME”. I first shared that emblem not long after ESSA was passed as a way to illustrate the damming strings about to be used against our schools, communities, and homes. It’s happening everywhere, but we must be savvy in seeing it.

The REACH catches (qualifiers) each family must have to be involved in the Program:
a) at least 1 children (4th grade or higher) enrolled in the MGSD (Mooresville Graded School District)
b) enrolled children must also be enrolled in the National School Free/Reduced Lunch Program.

Warriors, we know ESSA promised local control. But have you picked up on the National participation when it comes to lunch?! This is yet another clue that ESSA lies!

Fact #2: MI-Connection serves 3 communities, not just one. If you want to see the REACH webpage, http://www.mi-connection.com/index.php/community/intreachIf you want to learn how the 3 communities are served,http://www.mi-connection.com/index.php/about-usIf you would like to see the 2013 Press Release about the P3 between MI-Connection and the School District, http://www.mi-connection.com/index.php/newsroom/213-mi-connection-partners-with-mooresville-graded-school-districtIf you’d like to see the embarrassment MI-Connection is to NC, this article from the Coalition for a New Economy, is a good one. http://www.coalitionfortheneweconomy.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/10.31.12-GON-MI-Connection-Final.pdf

In the Approved 2014-15 City of Mooresville Budget, look how much the telecommunications company costs. Taxpayer funds are used in supporting this.

Fact #3: Isn’t it enough our taxpayer money is used for the educational alignment to the CCSS Machine? Must it also be our TVs and computers?!

In my “ESSA and Digital Overload” article, I shared with you HOW the TVs and computers in our homes were to be ensnared. Here’s an excerpt, “Pages 485-488: The consortia for digital learning and state funding. What the uses of the funding mean and how they tie to digital overload.Page 630: Preschool and ‘Ready to Learn’ digital content, especially via PBS (Public Broadcast Stations).Page 943 begins Section 9210 of the ESSA Law. This is the biggest overreach of all!Why? “Student Home Access to Digital Learning Resources”! To find out how successful students are at HOME, a Study conducted by the Director of the Institute of Educational Sciences (IES) no later than 18 months AFTER all portions of ESSA are in place! Details of the Study will be found on Page 944.” (*Note: entire article, https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2016/02/04/essa-and-digital-overload/)

The USAC is connected to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), see below.

According to the USAC, they’ve been around since 1997, and are a part of the NECA (National Exchange Carrier Assoc., Inc.) USAC is NECA’s not-for-profit arm. What does the NECA do? They oversee your local telecommunications companies!!

To learn more about USAC, http://www.usac.org/about/about/who-we-are/default.aspx(*Note: be sure to look at the Board of Directors. Especially the representation of the Board. Education and your local cable operators are definitely involved. See: http://www.usac.org/about/about/leadership/bod.aspx )

As far as NECA’s participation, their website explains for you why tariffs (taxes) are collected for telecomunnications is a great thing. Basically it’s for the latest and greatest technology, faster internet service, including the data collection. Did I find any connection between NECA and ESSA? In an unexpected way, yes. See the screen shot:

Is there more, though? Yes, NECA is big on increasing digital literacy in America. I found 3 connected DL (digital literacy) programs to NECA.
One is Digital Literacy from our federal government; another is a national program for connecting students with National Free or Reduced Lunches to the computer; the last one will sell you computers, complete with Windows 10 (a mammoth data mining tool).

To see the sales pitch website service program, http://arrowdirect.com/To see the federal government’s DL website (housed in the National Telecommunications and Information Admin. of the U.S. Dept. of Commerce), http://www.digitalliteracy.gov/(*Note: the name of the initiative, “Connect to Compete”; as in job seekers. Think, ESSA and WIOA.)

The last website will lead us right back to where we began, the REACH program. Remember that one of the qualifications is each participating family must have their child in the National Free or Reduced Lunch Program? Remember how I said this was happening everywhere?! This is the ‘mother lode’! It’s called “Connect2Compete”.

“Connect2Compete” is a flagship operation of “EveryoneOn’s”. What’s “EveryoneOn’s”? Another national non-profit organization dedicated to wiping out America’s ‘digital divide’.

It just so happens ESSA takes full advantage of this. HOW? Well, the Board of Directors former careers plays a part, as does the Advisory Council. Between the Microsoft folks, ConnectEd, and many others, the digital ramping up in our homes, schools, and communities is all but a ‘done deal’. But that still doesn’t answer how ESSA, a national law takes advantage of Connect2Compete. Look below, Warriors:

EveryoneOn also has a 100% give back program where your community-based projects can receive computers. ESSA’s got that angle, too. How, the Wrap Around Student Achievement Supports/Services, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and more! Who helps fund this 100% service? Of the 3 Foundations listed, only one stands out as CCSS related. The Wasserman Foundation. The Wasserman Foundation appears to be rather intimate with the Clinton Foundation, don’t you think?

Closing:

Warriors, it should be easy to see that we have a tremendous amount of digital jargon to combat. Let’s do this! Remember, the CCSS Machine will not stop until It’s in your home. Use your 4th Amendment rights! Use the 10th Amendment.
